UBI assumes that ubi_attach_info will only contain ubi_ainf_volume
structures for volumes with at least one LEB.
In scanning mode this is true because UBI can nicely create a ubi_ainf_volume
on demand while creating the EBA table.

For fastmap this is not true, the fastmap on-flash structure has a list of
all volumes, the ubi_ainf_volume structures are created from this list.
So it can happen that an empty volume ends up in init_volumes().

We can easely deal with that by looking into ->leb_count too.

  I was cleaning out my INBOX and found two fixes from zhangwei from a

  this is important to fix is because when trace_printk() doesn't have
  any arguments, it turns into a trace_puts().  Not being able to enable
  a stack trace against trace_printk() because it does not have any
  arguments is quite confusing.  Also, the fix is rather trivial and low
  risk.

  While porting some changes to PowerPC I discovered that it still has
  the function graph tracer filter bug that if you also enable stack
  tracing the function graph tracer filter is ignored.  I fixed that up.

ring_buffer_poll_wait() should always put the poll_table to its wait_queue
even there is immediate data available.  Otherwise, the following epoll and
read sequence will eventually hang forever:

1. Put some data to make the trace_pipe ring_buffer read ready first
2. epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, trace_pipe_fd, ee)
3. epoll_wait()
4. read(trace_pipe_fd) till EAGAIN
5. Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer
6. epoll_wait() -> this epoll_wait() will block forever

~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2,
  ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table,
  which has poll_table->_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its
  wait_queue.
~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6,
  ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue
  because the poll_table->_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works.
~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know
  it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue.
  Hence, block forever.

Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very
first thing to do.  For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.

Running my ftrace tests on PowerPC, it failed the test that checks
if function_graph tracer is affected by the stack tracer. It was.
Looking into this, I found that the update_function_graph_func()
must be called even if the trampoline function is not changed.
This is because archs like PowerPC do not support ftrace_ops being
passed by assembly and instead uses a helper function (what the
trampoline function points to). Since this function is not changed
even when multiple ftrace_ops are added to the code, the test that
falls out before calling update_function_graph_func() will miss that
the update must still be done.

Call update_function_graph_function() for all calls to
update_ftrace_function()

When the initialization of Intel HDMI controller fails due to missing
i915 kernel symbols (e.g. HD-audio is built in while i915 is module),
the driver discontinues the probe.  However, since the probe was done
asynchronously, the driver object still remains, thus the relevant PM
ops are still called at suspend/resume. This results in the bad access
to the incomplete audio card object, eventually leads to Oops or stall
at PM.

This patch adds the missing checks of chip->init_failed flag at each
PM callback in order to fix the problem above.

Commit 568f194e ("net: ppp: use
sk_unattached_filter api") causes sk_chk_filter() to be called twice when
setting a PPP pass or active filter. This applies to both the generic PPP
subsystem implemented by drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c and the ISDN PPP
subsystem implemented by drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_ppp.c. The first call is from
within get_filter(). The second one is through the call chain

  ppp_ioctl() or isdn_ppp_ioctl()
  --> sk_unattached_filter_create()
      --> __sk_prepare_filter()
          --> sk_chk_filter()

The first call from within get_filter() should be deleted as get_filter() is
called just before calling sk_unattached_filter_create() later on, which
eventually calls sk_chk_filter() anyway.

For 3.15.x, this proposed change is a bugfix rather than a pure optimization as
in that branch, sk_chk_filter() may replace filter codes by other codes which
are not recognized when executing sk_chk_filter() a second time. So with
3.15.x, if sk_chk_filter() is called twice, the second invocation may yield
EINVAL (this depends on the filter codes found in the filter to be set, but
because the replacement is done for frequently used codes, this is almost
always the case). The net effect is that setting pass and/or active PPP filters
does not work anymore, since sk_unattached_filter_create() always returns
EINVAL due to the second call to sk_chk_filter(), regardless whether the filter
was originally sane or not.

The PPP channel MTU is used with Multilink PPP when ppp_mp_explode() (see
ppp_generic module) tries to determine how big a fragment might be. According
to RFC 1661, the MTU excludes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, see the
corresponding comment and code in ppp_mp_explode():

		/*
		 * hdrlen includes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, but the
		 * MTU counts only the payload excluding the protocol field.
		 * (RFC1661 Section 2)
		 */
		mtu = pch->chan->mtu - (hdrlen - 2);

However, the pppoe module *does* include the PPP protocol field in the channel
MTU, which is wrong as it causes the PPP payload to be 1-2 bytes too big under
certain circumstances (one byte if PPP protocol compression is used, two
otherwise), causing the generated Ethernet packets to be dropped. So the pppoe
module has to subtract two bytes from the channel MTU. This error only
manifests itself when using Multilink PPP, as otherwise the channel MTU is not
used anywhere.

In the following, I will describe how to reproduce this bug. We configure two
pppd instances for multilink PPP over two PPPoE links, say eth2 and eth3, with
a MTU of 1492 bytes for each link and a MRRU of 2976 bytes. (This MRRU is
computed by adding the two link MTUs and subtracting the MP header twice, which
is 4 bytes long.) The necessary pppd statements on both sides are "multilink
mtu 1492 mru 1492 mrru 2976". On the client side, we additionally need "plugin
rp-pppoe.so eth2" and "plugin rp-pppoe.so eth3", respectively; on the server
side, we additionally need to start two pppoe-server instances to be able to
establish two PPPoE sessions, one over eth2 and one over eth3. We set the MTU
of the PPP network interface to the MRRU (2976) on both sides of the connection
in order to make use of the higher bandwidth. (If we didn't do that, IP
fragmentation would kick in, which we want to avoid.)

Now we send a ICMPv4 echo request with a payload of 2948 bytes from client to
server over the PPP link. This results in the following network packet:

   2948 (echo payload)
 +    8 (ICMPv4 header)
 +   20 (IPv4 header)
---------------------
   2976 (PPP payload)

These 2976 bytes do not exceed the MTU of the PPP network interface, so the
IP packet is not fragmented. Now the multilink PPP code in ppp_mp_explode()
prepends one protocol byte (0x21 for IPv4), making the packet one byte bigger
than the negotiated MRRU. So this packet would have to be divided in three
fragments. But this does not happen as each link MTU is assumed to be two bytes
larger. So this packet is diveded into two fragments only, one of size 1489 and
one of size 1488. Now we have for that bigger fragment:

   1489 (PPP payload)
 +    4 (MP header)
 +    2 (PPP protocol field for the MP payload (0x3d))
 +    6 (PPPoE header)
--------------------------
   1501 (Ethernet payload)

This packet exceeds the link MTU and is discarded.

If one configures the link MTU on the client side to 1501, one can see the
discarded Ethernet frames with tcpdump running on the client. A

ping -s 2948 -c 1 192.168.15.254

leads to the smaller fragment that is correctly received on the server side:

(tcpdump -vvvne -i eth3 pppoes and ppp proto 0x3d)

  Flags [end], length 1492

and to the bigger fragment that is not received on the server side:

(tcpdump -vvvne -i eth2 pppoes and ppp proto 0x3d)
52:54:00:70:9e:89 > 52:54:00:5d:6f:b0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
  length 1515: PPPoE  [ses 0x5] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1495: seq 0x000,
  Flags [begin], length 1493

With the patch below, we correctly obtain three fragments:

52:54:00:ad:87:fd > 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
  length 1514: PPPoE  [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000,
  Flags [begin], length 1492
52:54:00:70:9e:89 > 52:54:00:5d:6f:b0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
  length 1514: PPPoE  [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000,
  Flags [none], length 1492
52:54:00:ad:87:fd > 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864),
  length 27: PPPoE  [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 7: seq 0x000,
  Flags [end], length 5

And the ICMPv4 echo request is successfully received at the server side:

IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 21925, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1),
  length 2976)
    192.168.222.2 > 192.168.15.254: ICMP echo request, id 30530, seq 0,
      length 2956

The bug was introduced in commit c9aa6895
("[PPPOE]: Advertise PPPoE MTU") from the very beginning. This patch applies
to 3.10 upwards but the fix can be applied (with minor modifications) to
kernels as old as 2.6.32.

The code in neigh_sysctl_register() relies on a specific layout of
struct neigh_table, namely that the 'gc_*' variables are directly
following the 'parms' member in a specific order. The code, though,
expresses this in the most ugly way.

Get rid of the ugly casts and use the 'tbl' pointer to get a handle to
the table. This way we can refer to the 'gc_*' variables directly.

Similarly seen in the grsecurity patch, written by Brad Spengler.
